Plot

[edit]

A woman is driving down a road when she crashes. She then sees a light, before hyenas attack and kill her and her baby. The woman's husband, Gannon (Costas Mandylor), teams up with veteran tracker "Crazy" Briggs (Meshach Taylor) to track down and kill the hyenas.[2]

Reception

[edit]

Hyenas was described by Bryan Senn in his book The Werewolf Filmography as "poor in all departments", commenting on Amanda Aardsma's "plastic acting" and "cartoonish CGI hyenas".[2] Bruce Kooken, for Horrornews.net, described the special effects as "crash and burn...the CGI effect is really unforgivable".[3]
